Yes, the stock spec for the pressure plate is correct.

okay thanks,
the pilot bushing is flush with the crank input on the engine.. whatever that spot is called..
and the flywheel is on...

i dont have money for a transmission jack..
can i use the floor jack to jack up my transmission?
if so how?

I've done that. Since it's not an automatic, you don't have to worry about crushing a pan or anything.

I've just balanced the transmission on the jack cup, kept a hand on it to stabilize it, and jacked it up.

I know that some places sell transmission jack adapters, they're supposed to go on a standard floor jack instead of the original cup

Just use a 1' x 1' x 1/2" piece of plywood (NOT MDF or particle board!) and nail a couple scraps along two parallel sides as a guide leaving enough room to roll the tranny about 1/2" to either side. Then, use some metal strapping to attach it to the cup if there's not way to remove the cup and use a bolt through the board into the jack's head.

Do it after. I can't remember for sure but I believe one if not both of the bolts run into or through the bell housing.
